Time - (Ghazal structure)

by Anonymous   Nov 2, 2018


O Time, may I declare, you are such a marvelous wonder.
Have you autonomously claimed your own beauty and power,
I wonder.

Persistent presence, a witness to the History of histories,
What incredible and magnificent things have you encountered,
I wonder.

All-knowing, omnipotent, object, You are wise beyond Your innumerous years,
Is wisdom light or is it heavy? Is it sporadic or is it steady,
I wonder.

If only You would bequeath to us a fragment of your knowledge,
Would we discover miraculous marvels, would we change our ways,
I wonder.

As I progress along my journey, I am humbled and baffled by Your size.
You are the keystone of reality, all-encompassing fabric throughout which,
I wander.
